I don't know but this is literally very hard core I guess: :thinking:
Well, purely based on the looks of it...

...that might become this guy's favorite EA cable so far :smile:

This is a Penon Totem base ? Or sort of ? :scream: :sweat_smile: :beerchug:

Oho. This is a rather thick cable. Maybe 22 AWG.
I’ve got a feeling this is pure prototype (P23 in fact). It doesn’t look like a finished commercial cable at all and so it may look like it is to make us guess the secret sauce without making it obvious, such as with the wires being silver, copper, SPC etc.

Yes, it is a prototype, in terms of hardware (plug, splitter, etc.), and it is thicker than 22 AWG :wink:

Just arrived and I took a quick picture with my phone, next to 24 AWG Ares S.

Oh, that's more than double the thickness.
Although I confess, I don't like the green color. Dark gray or dark brown would be better.
But I'm still not sure I'll try to get it. So my review is irrelevant.

Damn, Alex, where did the legendary table go?)

No it's thicker than 22. I took this picture yesterday with the P23 next to my 21.6 AWG cable.20221219_110250.jpg
But this is a coaxial cable with another layer of insulation inside the outer shielding so I am guessing it's something like 16-18 AWG.
It is not known what kind of construction it is.
Usually - the central cotton core, then the insulation between the screen and the inner conductor.
Therefore, not all thickness is useful from the point of view of filling with a conductor. However, I wonder how much it really is. But I'm guessing no more than 19. I have an 18.8 cable and it's a monster.
The addition of an inner cotton core makes it noticeably thicker.

Yea I think you are right it's not accurate to just messure the thickness. How's the ergonomics of your 18.8 AWG cable? That for IEMs?

I actually really like the green btw. It has the same colour as my second guitar. This colour is called emerald green.

Your pics are perfect. My prototype arrived today and looks exactly like yours. I had no idea it was coming. I got a notice from DHL to pay the clearance fees and i had no idea what it was. I just called it the mystery green cable and wrote Jordon asking if it was meant for me.... Well as it turns out it was.

Ok first impression straight out of the courrier pouch...... I hooked it up to the MEXT and instant thought was holy cow its like a wall of sound. Its thick yet clear, deep and wide defined and detailed all simultaneously. I had no idea of material composition but the dramatic effect it had on the MEXT was instantly noticeable. Over the next few days ill listen on other IEMs I know well and comoare to other cables. On the MEXT anyway, with only an hour of listening i can say it is a stunning combination. The only downside in the prototype form anyway, is that it is a very thick and not so pliable. I managed to walk around with it but it is fairly stiff.

More to follow.
